Battle of the Bryant Park Bathrooms!
2024-12-02
Hello everyone,
Welcome to Issue #62 of CAFÉ ANNE!
I’m very excited about this week’s issue. I’ve included a new poll so I can get to know you all better, and our Product of the Month is Strawberry Planks! We’ve also got the second installment of my hard-hitting investigation into the newly renovated NYC subway station bathrooms. This one features the restrooms at the Bryant Park-42nd Street stop, which have some very tough competition from the public restrooms in the nearby park.
Editorial boards and much of the political punditry have continued to call on President Biden to leave the race after his disappointing debate performance last Thursday. Leading the charge is the New York Times, which claimed that while Biden is “a good man and a good president,” he is too old to be “taking on the threat of tyranny and defeating it.”
Missing from this was any discussion of what would actually happen next.

Good afternoon!
Bravo to us, we made it through the first week of the year! I was dragging, my friends, but I had this idea in my head that the way I started the year would be an indicator to the year I’d have so I made myself to do everything I’d set out to do and now I’m ready, but 8 days into the year, for a vacation.

Beef Fizz and Clam Sweat - by Dennis Lee

What’s up, children?
Actually, if you are a child you should not be reading this. Go socially distance with some friends over a heated round of Pogs.
Every week someone tags me on Facebook or on Twitter when a demonic recipe is unearthed from the hellish food crypt of the 70’s. Why won’t these stay dead?!
In this case, I’ve been getting pestered about this specific recipe:
Beef Fizz.
If you’ve been reading my entire bloggy newsletter thing, you may remember I recreated something similar, called the Beef Tingler.
Beer at the Edges of the Earth
2024-12-02
In the bottom of a canyon, 1800 feet below and a mile away from the throngs of tourists who are simply there for the views, my friend and I sipped celebratory beers to mark the completion of the first leg of by far the most challenging hike I’ve been on — the Gunnison Route of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The only sounds were the glugs of beer from a can, the rushing waters of the river beside us, and the occasional bird chirping.
